Story

20 years have passed. Since the death of Kitava, society has been slowly rebuilding. Ambitious men rise to fill the void and their thirst for power is once again corrupting Wraeclast.

What is happening now

Path of Exile 2 is an action RPG currently in early access that builds on the foundation of the original Path of Exile. The game features the series' signature deep progression systems and complex itemization mechanics. As the title approaches its full 1.0 release, coverage has begun examining the challenges ahead beyond launch itself. The transition from early access to a live service game with an active playerbase presents its own set of difficulties - balancing ongoing content updates, managing community expectations, and sustaining engagement long-term are the typical hurdles facing early access games at this stage. Path of Exile 2 will need to navigate these waters while maintaining the design philosophy that has kept its predecessor relevant for over a decade.
